Benz LP vs. Dynavector XV-1s

Audiolui,by now I suppose all Titans are the newer model.I know of no way,other than a trusted dealer to distinguish the two,as I am not an owner.Just an admirer!!However the newer one is definitely an audible improvement,though the older one was not chopped liver.Best wishes.

IMO retailers, wholesalers, and tradespersons have no business posting here disclosure notwithstanding. It is a conflict of interest pure and simple. I really don't want to hear "I can be objecive" because anytime there's money involved the chance of a tainted post exists. Private email between the parties is the only ethical communication.

I really appreciate every opinion you all provide in this thread. I want to get a general consensus about what people feel about the Benz LP and the Dyna XV-1s.

Please be nice to each other. Audiophile community is such a small social circle. At the end of the day, we just want to have fun. Thanks again.

jgk1017 has it right. People in the audio business should contact posters direct via email if they have something to sell and/or choose to offer advice not "advertise" in these threads. However I don't expect that will happen; the profit potential generally outweighs ethical behavior. That being said, anybody in the business should disclose same in EVERY post to eliminate any doubt regarding their interests.

I agree that people in the business should disclose their interest before giving their opinions. I am glad that Jtinn did.
